Describe your changes
https://financialtimes.atlassian.net/browse/DATA-10316 and the accompanying Slack thread describe a very old workaround in
o-trackingto avoid a 'queue bug', whereby if more than 200 events are in the local storage queue (i.e. because the device has been offline or unable to send events for some reason), they are summarised in a singleo-tracking:queue-bugevent. This was presumably to avoid an enormous flood of events due to a buggy release ofo-trackingmany years ago. Importantly, summarising these events rather than sending them properly means the Spoor pipeline is missing key BI events in a significant volume (e.g. 2.6mnpage:viewevents for FT App in a 90-day period).However, the current implementation throws away some useful data, which will be required in order to assess whether the bug still exists or if these queued events can now all be sent safely.
This PR makes a few changes:
add()andrun()from thesend.jsAPI: these events were only used in unit tests, and should be preserved as internal helper methods onlyo-tracking:queue-bugpayload, if the queued events contain an oldero-tracking:queue-bugevent, merge the data in to the current context (rather than throw away the data from any events prior to the last 200)o-tracking:queue-bug:isOfflineCounts(how many of the events were sent withis_offline: true),maxOfflineLagandaverageOfflineLag.Additional context
